VALORANT Pacific Stage 2 betting continues with DRX, T1, Global Esports and ZETA DIVISION all in action.
VALORANT Champions Tour 2026 Pacific Stage 2 enters the penultimate round of the group stage on Saturday, August 8, when DRX clash with T1, followed by a meeting between Global Esports and ZETA DIVISION.

DRX enter their final game of VCT Pacific Stage 2 with a 1-3 record, having struggled to find any meaningful traction during the first three weeks of play.
T1 have been slightly more successful, going 2-2, which includes two upset losses against VARREL and DetonatioN FocusMe.
T1 have not been very consistent, but they have also shown a high ceiling, beating Paper Rex and Team Secret without any major issues.
But while T1 have shown they are capable of playing at a high level, their lack of consistency is worrying.
If T1 have another bad day, DRX should be able to do some damage. However, DRX’s past performances inspire little confidence.
Despite fielding a capable roster, DRX have been all over the place, struggling to adapt to the current meta and seemingly without any clear plan on how to approach their games.
DRX are fundamentally flawed and look poised to struggle against T1 on Saturday.
T1 -1.5 maps
Global Esports enter Saturday’s game as -400 favourites on the top bookmakers to defeat ZETA DIVISION and take one step closer to finishing Group Alpha in the top two.
Both teams have managed a 2-2 record this stage. Global Esports have beaten Rex Regum Qeon and FULL SENSE in the first two games, but have since lost against Nongshim RedForce and Gen.G, both 1-2.
ZETA DIVISION have beaten Rex Regum Qeon and FULL SENSE, but fell against Nongshim RedForce and Gen.G Esports.
So, results-wise, there is not much to separate the two teams.
GE have shown more good moments throughout the first three weeks of play, but their individual quality and map pool are roughly at the same level as ZETA DIVISION’s.
There is little to suggest ZETA DIVISION should be such big underdogs. At these prices, the outsiders are worth a bet.
